Start at a slow, comfortable pace and low resistance level and increase slowly over time as you become more fit. At the end of your workout, do a few cautious, gentle stretches to help your muscles recover.

When shopping for exercise equipment, you really can’t go wrong with an exercise bike cross trainer. For the price of a single piece of equipment, you get all the benefits of two. The Marcy XC50 2 in 1 has a great combination of features and range of adjustability for its price point.
